Scoop.it!
Robin Good: If you are looking for a good example of a web magazine using curation to create value for its readers while creating revenue, check out FEYT.
The minimalist publication curates fashion "themes" by providing original short-format content accompanied by human-curated sets of fashion items that fit the topic and which nicely complement each other.
The items showcased come from third-party fashion providers and Feyt makes a revenue/commision on each item sold, just like a classic affiliate would.
From Fashionista: "Feyt is a personal styling website, founded by fashion industry insiders, combining algorithmic technology and human curation to recommend designer fashion to high end customers based on their personal taste and style, monetizing these customers via global ecommerce affiliates.
In-house fashion experts score and rate seasonal fashion and style across a broad range of criteria and characteristics, rooted in individual style versus the more common approach of simple visual imagery."

Robin Good: I have just received an invitation to test the new content curation platform Zeen, and here I am with some early impressions on what I have seen.
Zeen is a content curation tool designed to create good-looking magazines on a specific topic or theme. Setup and configuration is very easy and straightforward and it allows you to connect your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Once you are in, you can immediately set up a Zeen magazine, by selecting a title, a description and a cover image. From there on you are free to use the integrated search feature to find web articles, news, images, video clips or tweets relevant to your magazine. You just start a search after having selected what kind of content you are looking for and Zeen presents you with a set of relevant results. One-click on any of them and they are inserted instantly in your magazine.
You can also create as many "tags" (Zeen calls them "labels") as you like and assign each content item to a specific label.
The final magazine issue offers an automatic visual table of contents, in which you can organize by dragging and dropping the order of your selected contents.
A Zeen magazine can be made of multiple issues, instead of being like Scoop.it, a continuously growing content holder. You select the content items and you produce an issue (which can be still edited after publication).
N.B.: There is no way to edit or modify the content picked and added to your magazine, including the use of images.
You can't create new content but only pick and organize existing resources.
Here is an example of a Zeen magazine: http://zeen.com/read/ODgO94/toc and here is another one on barbeques: http://zeen.com/read/KuJoAW

After receiving an invite yesterday and also gave it a try. They have a long way to go as far as a mobile user using the site to currate content.
In find when viewing a magazine the layout has to much going on around it that takes away from the content. |
Thanks Robin for sharing this! Will definitely have to check this out.
This is the best innovative curation tool for creating your magazine for the web. Check out NOOWIT. Thanks Robin Good!
